The U.S., Israel and Iran all appear to be downplaying the Israeli attack on Iran overnight Thursday. CBS News has learned that Israeli aircraft operating outside Iran fired a small number of missiles on a city after suppressing air defenses, but officials have refused to say more about the matter as world leaders call for calm in the region.

"CBS Saturday Morning" co-hosts Jeff Glor, Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson deliver two hours of original reporting and breaking news, as well as profiles of leading figures in culture and the arts. Watch "CBS Saturday Morning" at 7 a.m. ET on CBS and 8 a.m. ET on the CBS News app.

Why do American kids have to learn about the Holocaust in school every year when they don’t hear the word Nakba or learn any history of the Middle East unless they do their own research???

Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon.

I think Iran was really surprised by how easy it was for Israel to attack them
